salt

[SConrad]

is it okay to add salt to a guppy fry tank? would it help anything or make it worse?

Personally I would forget it.

It's hard to justify it's use when so many people raise happy healthy guppies without it.

Same for mollies, platies, etc.

My philosophy says that when there's a debate, choose the side that doesn't require you to jack with your water chemistry and see how things go.

You can add salt if you feel like it,it may help prevent fungus and other things but it doesn't really benefit their growth or anything like that. Thing is,if you add salt to guppy fry,platy's or sword's fry they tend to be dependant on it thru their lives. It's just a matter of personal choice. I myself add salt to everything,except the 10 gallon snail breeding tank,I don't muck with that.
